If it ain’t broke, don’t tell me what time it is. Because I’m probably late for work. Wait, I don’t work and use daddy’s money. Nice drinks
Nice cocktails. Recommended.
We had a 30 person engagement party in the back room and it was PERFECT. Open bar with nice cocktails.
The cocktails are good and unique.
We could bring our own decor. But the room was nice enough that we didn’t need much.
You can play your own music.
They can do food platters (little sandwiches, fried etc)
Only notes: 1) the fries not good lol 2) the music was pretty quiet so it wasn’t good to dance. Not sure if that’s change-able.
